Pattern type

Patterned frost-dependent mires are separated between aapa mires consisting of ridges and hummocks with alternating hollows, transverse to the slope, and mires characterised by structures of large polygons, 10 to 30 m in diameter, formed by the juxtaposition of dry ridges, 0.3 to 0.5 m high, and wet hollows.
